Angus Smith (1928-2019) was a well-loved preacher with a passionate concern for the souls of his hearers. He pastored congregations at Snizort-Uig on the Isle of Skye and at Cross on the island of Lewis. His crystal-clear communication style in explaining the Bible matched his personality: lively, engaging, personal, and warm in recommending Christ as the sinner's Saviour and friend. In retirement he supplied many pulpits as well as being in frequent demand as an assistant at communion services. The eighteen sermons in this book come from the final two years of his life. The book also includes a detailed biographical sketch of the minister who cared that everyone he met should trust in the Lord Jesus Christ for forgiveness.

Samuel Rutherford (1600-1661) was one of the greatest preachers and theologians of Scotland. He is renowned as the writer of a most remarkable series of devotional letters-a religious classic full of rich spiritual nourishment.The Power of Faith and Prayer is a discourse on Matthew 9:27-31, which records the healing of two blind men who followed Christ and called upon him. Samuel Rutherford deals masterfully with two great matters which concern Christians-faith and prayer.This extremely scarce book was published posthumously in 1713, more than fifty years after Samuel Rutherford's death. Reformation Press first issued the book in 1993. This second edition contains extra notes to explain obscure and archaic terms, and these help to make Rutherford's precious book accessible to present-day readers.

Rev Donald MacLean (1915-2010) was a gifted minister of the gospel whose pastoral ministry on the Isle of Skye and in Glasgow lasted over fifty years. Many thousands heard his powerful preaching throughout these years and under the blessing of the Holy Spirit this was profitable to many people. Unsearchable Riches contains twelve of Donald MacLean's instructive and devotional sermons. The book begins with a sermon whose title epitomises the contents of the volume - 'Unsearchable riches'.The reader will find here solid expositions of Scripture, a rich covenantal theology, and a warm emphasis on Christian experience.

Daniel is a testimony to us that God never forsakes his people. Even if they are thrown into a den of lions, God is on their side. He will never abandon them. Therefore they should be faithful, as Daniel was, and persevere to the end in the strength of the Lord.

This guide to daily walking with God has been transcribed from a manuscript and is now published for wider benefit. It contains valuable spiritual counsel on setting aside time for reading the Word and prayer, meditating frequently on the Word, having spiritual thoughts during the day, while resisting idle thoughts. This very searching brief volume is also highly personal and shows Rutherford's own convictions of conscience as to how he had misspent his time. He shows us the way to reflect more deeply on this and gives some very practical rules for ordering daily life to the glory of God alone. Rutherford's general guidance on how to seek the presence of God in all circumstances is both concise and weighty.

We live in desperate times?in moral and in other concerns. Things are also collapsing in on themselves spiritually in terms of widespread decline in what the professing Church believes and the standards by which it lives. But William Guthrie shows that our problem is not just living in a time of destruction, but self-destruction. We may be concerned about moral deterioration in society, but also need to see ourselves as personally implicated. Where can we

We must prepare for eternity and we cannot put this off until we think it is imminent. Ecclesiastes 12 urges this wise instruction through striking pictures of physical decline. Alexander Nisbet draws out the way in which this spiritual wisdom applies urgently to each one of us.

Today's Christians face uncertain times and anti-religious pressures. This book focuses on Christians from Caithness and the nearby Sutherland community of Strathy who lived in times of great social and religious upheavals. Their stories span the time from the Highland Clearances to the mid-twentieth century. The lives of these believers were closely scrutinised as they endeavoured to be faithful to their Lord in the workplace, community and family. The book tells us about their lives and soul experiences, and shows how the Lord sustained them in their faithful profession of Christianity. These accounts should encourage Christians to live like these godly people - in dependence on God and in faithfulness to his commands.

It is dangerous to any Church to have ministers who are not called and qualified for their office. We must be equally concerned to have worthy men as elders and deacons. Zeal for the Lord's honour and the gospel,love to souls and fear of the Lord's judgment will make this a priority. James Guthrie is concerned that many elders and deacons are neither aware of their duty nor conscientious in doing it. This book provides a straightforward explanation of the purpose and duties of these offices. There are various encouragements as well as crisp clarity and searching requirements.

This book provides brief thoughts for each day of the year selected from the 'most remarkable series of devotional letters that the literature of the Reformed Church can show' (John Macleod).

Each day presents a distinct opportunity to glorify God since 'as many suns as God maketh to arise upon you, ye have as many new lives' (Samuel Rutherford).

A great revival of religion took place in the Northern Highlands of Scotland during the latter part of the eighteenth century. God brought thousands of men and women to be humble and faithful followers of Christ. They were noted as exercised and consistent Christians who delighted in the doctrines of grace. Angus MacGillivray was well placed to write an account of this remarkable period. From 1828 to 1841 he was the parish minister of Strathy on the north coast of Sutherland and knew many people who had become shining examples of godliness. He traces the history of the revivals in a number of localities in Ross-shire and Sutherland, describing the effects of the revival and illustrating this by short biographies of some eminent Christians.

Jan Hus-also known as John Huss-was one of the early European Reformers. He became a priest in Prague in 1400 and quickly rose to become a popular preacher and the Rector of Prague University. Hus opposed the sale of indulgences and rejected the Church's erroneous teaching on various topics. By his words and actions he posed a threat to the authority of the entire Roman Catholic system. This led to his trial and martyrdom at the stake in 1415, over a century before the Protestant Reformation of Martin Luther. This book examines the life and times of Jan Hus and tells of the dangerous struggles to bring about a reformation in Bohemia. It also traces the history of the Hussites after his execution, when they resisted the military might of the Roman Catholic Church. The history of reformation in Bohemia is fascinating. This book gives an excellent introduction to the story of Jan Hus and these stirring events. It is rounded off by thumbnail biographies of the major characters.

The reader will find this book's Christ-centred content to be spiritually satisfying and profitable.
